Lanh died September 16 from malnutrition and inadequate care. Not even the American doctors in an Army hospital in Saigon could save her. Since the time that Lanh died. the United States has continued to phase out its programs of health care and refugee relief. No funds for civilian health programs are requested for the new fiscal year. and assistance to refugees will have to come entirely from counterpart funds. Despite the continued high rate of civilian casualties. particularly during the current offensive. the United States has been drastically cutting its medical programs and slashing the number of hospital beds allocated to civilian war casualties. Thus. we can do even less to help the people who continue to suffer.
